NORTHAMPTON -- One of the jurors who convicted former University of Massachusetts Amherst student Patrick Durocher of rape and assault and battery charges earlier this month said that he didn't believe a word of the 20-year-old's testimony, including his claim that the sex was consensual.

Phillip A. Nash of Florence, the only of 12 jurors who agreed to an interview after the trial, said that by the end of the nine hours of deliberations, all the jurors agreed that the encounter was not consensual and the woman appeared to be injured as a result.

"The boy's story was hard to believe," Nash said Wednesday. "I believed the girl."

Durocher, of Longmeadow, is scheduled to be sentenced in Hampshire Superior Court at 2 p.m. Friday.

The state sentencing guidelines for a person with no criminal record who is convicted of rape is 5 to 7 1/2 years in state prison. State law says the crime is punishable by a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Live coverage of the sentencing arguments and decision will be available here starting just before 2 p.m.

The victim testified that Durocher, whom she did not know, approached her while she was walking home from a fraternity party around midnight on Sept. 2, 2013. She said that on the lawn by the UMass Campus Center, he held her against a tree by her neck and then raped her on the ground.

Student witnesses testified that they saw Durocher on top of the woman on the lawn and she appeared to be unconscious. When students approached, Durocher stood up and put his pants on and said, "You're blowing up my spot," according to one of the testimony of student Zlata Myshchuk.

As the students helped her walk away, they testified, she seemed intoxicated and confused and later passed out.

Durocher, who was only days into his freshman year at UMass, testified that he had met the woman at a party and that while walking home together, she initiated sex. He said she was conscious at all times and not very intoxicated.

Attempts this week to interview the other 11 jurors who deliberated were unsuccessful. Ten did not return calls, emails or social media messages seeking comment, and one could not be reached.

Nash said Wednesday that while he could not speak for the other jurors, he thought the victim's testimony was convincing even though there were some missing pieces.

The woman testified that she remembered "bits and pieces" of the attack and then being loaded into an ambulance, but said she did not recall speaking to students or what she said to emergency responders and medical personnel.

He concluded that those issues were because the woman was traumatized and drunk.

"The excessive alcohol clouded, it clouded the truth," he said.

The woman testified that she had been drinking, but never said that she was blacked out.

Jurors also heard that her blood alcohol content, tested five hours after the attack, was .22. Based on testimony that blood alcohol content generally decreases by .01 every hour after alcohol is consumed, she would have had an alcohol content level of .32 -- four times the legal limit to drive.

Several witnesses testified that Durocher seemed drunk, but could not give specific examples. Durocher also said he was drunk, but Nash said he was not convinced.

"I didn't believe a word he said," Nash said.

No witnesses could corroborate Durocher's claim that the two had been dancing and kissing at the party and left together, Nash said.

The jury took its time, carefully considering all the evidence and the law, before determining which counts Durocher was guilty of, Nash said.

Durocher was charged with kidnapping, assault and battery, and aggravated rape. The aggravating factor, according to the indictment, was that the victim was allegedly seriously injured.

But jurors did not find evidence of serious injury, so they convicted Durocher of the lesser charge of rape.

While Nash believed the woman's story, technically, his fellow jurors did not have to believe that Durocher violently raped the woman in order to convict him. Even if the two were at the party together, he could have been convicted of rape if the jury found that the woman was too intoxicated by alcohol to consent.

They concluded that the woman's bruises indicated beyond a reasonable doubt that she had been hurt, so they convicted him of assault and battery. Some witnesses testified that the bruises -- some of them quite large -- that covered the woman's neck looked like hickeys.

The nurse who conducted the sexual assault examination said she also had bruises on her thigh, an abrasion on her elbow, and abrasions found during the pelvic exam.

The jurors did not find Durocher guilty of the kidnapping charge because they did not find enough evidence that Durocher held the woman down or against her will -- possibly because she was unconscious, Nash said.

Nash said he was considering attending Durocher's sentencing Friday. Being a juror on the trial and hearing all the details of the case was "unsettling," he said.

The delivery of the verdict was an especially tense moment, he said, with the families of both the victim and Durocher in the courtroom.

"It's just realizing: there are no winners," he said of the situation. "We realize that."
